An automatic transmission typically won't shift down into first gear at high speeds to prevent engine damage and maintain vehicle stability. Shifting to first gear while the vehicle is moving rapidly can cause excessive engine RPM, leading to potential mechanical failure. Additionally, the transmission's control system is designed to restrict downshifts based on speed and load conditions to ensure smooth operation and safety.
